Day 1A
Trens Doubles Thru Na
Noori Na had re-entered not long ago and was then involved in a battle of the blinds. On the K♥ J♠ 9♥ 3♦ turn, he bet 4,000 and Yohan Trens raised to 14,000. Na declared a reraise and then jammed, Trens quickly called.
Na's K♠ 3♥ had turned two pair but Trens had that beat already with the K♣ J♥ . Nothing changed with the A♣ and Trens doubled for 40,100 to leave Na short.

Kim Chips Up With Trips

Na's A♠ 2♠ had been ahead on the flop, but Kim won the pot with K♦ Q♣ for trips.
